He appears to be much better than his boss. That might not be saying a lot, given Obama, but in this radical left administration Leon Panetta stands out as more like an old school Democrat.

Panetta and Gates are both foreign policy realists. In fact, they both served on the Iraq Study Group.

That's true. He's obviously not going to be as good a choice as a Republican because he is a Democrat. But he's not nearly as bad as many other in his party, and has done as decent a job as could be expected at the CIA.
Interestingly, he used to be a Republican.
